My Project

The year is almost done and we are tidying up. It's time for an outdoor activity with both classes. We will use dots, cups, and toothpicks to see who can construct the tallest yet most stable tower. Bubbles will be fun to blow outside. too!

I plan to use the organizer to establish homework routines for next year.

The special tape will divide my blackboard up into categories for vocabulary words. This way I can separate math words vs. rhyming words for example. The hair ties (we will use as wrist bands) will be for station group color teams. Lots of organizing to finish the year out strong and and set up the room for an even greater next year too! Onward, upward and forward we go!
